Product catalog summary
Operating Instruction Summary for Trimod Besta Pneumatic Level Switch – Types P…, FP…

Safety Instructions
Before installation, it is essential to read and understand the manual. Special regulations apply for explosive atmospheres. Qualified personnel should select the level switch based on customer specifications. Any deviation in pressure or temperature requires re-evaluation. Ensure process vessels are depressurized and vented before any work.

Conformity to Standards
Type P… switches are not 'ready-to-use' under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and do not require CE marking. Type FP… switches comply with EN 60079-0 and EN 60079-26 standards.

Technical Data
Pneumatic connection specifications include a maximum control pressure of 10 bar and a flow rate of 90 Nl/min at 6 bar. The FP… series must be connected according to Ex-device regulations. Supply air quality must meet ISO 8573-1 (7:4:4).

Installation and Initial Start-up
Ensure the correct operational position during installation. Avoid turbulence and ensure the float moves freely. Use appropriate gaskets and bolts for industrial series flanges, following specified torque.

Maintenance
Inspect and clean level switches annually. Check for damage and contamination, ensuring full movement of the float. Use only original spare parts for replacements. Verify switch module functionality after maintenance.

Replacement of the Switch Module
Replace defective modules with factory-tested ones. The switch does not need removal from the process container for module replacement. Specify the complete type designation when ordering replacements.

Fire Protection
Protect level switches from external fire hazards.

Disposal
Dispose of switches in an environmentally friendly manner according to local regulations. They do not contain asbestos or other hazardous materials.
